Hall of Fame

I suspected that you should be a former soprano becoming a mezzo. So, my next question is do you envisage yourself as  a possible Coloratura mezzo or a lyric one? Di Donato, Bartoli, Garanca, Horne (this is beyond categories, I guess) and my most beloved Berganza belonged mostly to Coloratura.

However, if you wish to sing certain roles of Mozart, like Annio, Cherubino, Dorabella, Idamante or Sesto, you need also to follow some a bit "rounder"  voices, like Janet Baker, Brigitte Fassbaender, my favourite Anne Sofie von Otter, my beloved Frederica von Stade and the late and so great Tatiana Troyanos. From the modern ones, I guess the best example is Susan Graham.

By the way, which is your actual vocal range (G below middle C to high B natural or you can reach the high C as well)?

I think I've not the "roundness" of mezzo voices but my medium begins to be richer of colours. I can reach high C but I don't know where is exactly my low range, I'm working on it (en français, ma tessiture s'étend environ du mi grave au contre-mi, I'm not familiar with the english range's system). If I become a mezzo, I think it will be a mezzo coloratura. 

I'm going to follow your suggestions.

Votre tessiture est formidable, Ladroldedame. Definitevement, vous pouvez devenir a Mezzo Coloratura.

All the best. With this tessitura you can easily move to soprano roles as well. I guess Rosina (from Rossini's Barbiere) or La Cenerentola or L'Italiana would be perfect for you. Study Horne and Berganza predominantly.

Tous mes voeux pour une carriere brilliante.

Getting my bounders/cads mixed up. 

I would like to have been offered the chance to vote for Rudolf Serkin, who doesn't seem to have been included as a soloist. or as an ensemble player.    Adolf Busch, with whom he played as a duo, isn't allowed in as a soloist either, but we do have the chance to vote for the Busch Quartet.  In fact, Serkin's most enduring contribution to the Gramophone arguably grew out of his collaboration with them, but Gramophone's categories have somehow managed to squeeze him out of any recognition in the first round and it's difficult to see how he can now fit in.   Not very sensible editing.

I realise that it is impossible for every singer of note to be included in the Hall of Fame, but I must say I am very surprised at the omission of Giacomo Aragall from the Tenor list.

I totally agree. It´s unbelievable that Janet Baker and Cecilia Bartoli made the Hall of Fame and the GREAT Teresa Berganza didn´t. It´s a scandal, as is the inclusion of Rattle and the omission of Bruno Walter, Fritz Reiner, Victor de Sabata, Carlo Maria Giulini, Ferenc Fricsay, Rafael Kubelik, etc.

How old are the people that made the list? 10?
